## Description

SmallTalk  Phonemes is a speech exercise video app. It is designed to help anyone who has suffered a stroke or a traumatic brain injury and presents with aphasia, apraxia, and/or dysarthria. It can also be used by individuals who present similar language impairments.  

The series of individual speech-exercise videos shows the tongue and lip movements necessary to produce phonemes in the English language like “g” or “f”.  

You can easily rearrange the order of the videos or remove others to make it simpler to focus on key phonemes. Repeat each exercise as often as you would like. Then, reset the app to return to original settings.  

WHO IS THIS APP FOR? 

+ Stroke Survivors 
+ People with Aphasia 
+ Caregivers of People with Aphasia 
+ Speech-Language Pathologists 
+ Speech-Language Pathology Students

## Review summary

Reviews consistently praise SmallTalk Phonemes for its aphasia-friendly approach and mouth-focused phoneme visuals, including real-mouth demonstrations and accurate-sounding isolated-sound models. However, many reviews highlight stability and playback issues (crashes, video lip-sync problems, short videos), startup/navigation failures after updates, and concerns about phoneme notation accuracy.

### Pros

- Valuable therapy-friendly tool for aphasia and other speech disorders; therapists and caregivers report it aids progress.
- Provides mouth-focused visuals to illustrate phoneme production and pronunciation.
- Real-mouth pronunciation demonstrations praised for effectiveness.
- Accurate, focused models for isolated speech sounds.

### Cons

- Frequent stability issues: crashes when tapping sounds or videos, and app stops unexpectedly.
- Compatibility/OS update problems causing glitches; reviewers report instability after iOS updates.
- Startup/launch and navigation problems: some users cannot open beyond opening screen or reach the phoneme list.
- Video playback problems: lip-motion freezes or requires resets; videos may be too short or not continuous.
- Phoneme notation/accuracy concerns: lack of standard phoneme symbols and some sounds misrepresented (e.g., /r/ vs /er/).
